Choropleth

Unipolar Data Represented by Sequential Color


I created the basic layout of this map first in ArcMap where I classified the data and selected the color scheme. Then, I completed the layout within Adobe Illustrator. Note the three scale bars each indicate the same distance but physically differ in size.

Unipolar Data Represented by Sequential Greyscale


I used a copy of the map above and made a few changes within Adobe Illustrator to complete this greyscale map. I grouped the data by divisions using Microsoft Excel and calculated the changes and then manually classified it. A scale bar on this map would only be accurate within divisions and not between, so I left all scales off to prevent confusion.
